I can't confirm anything, but I've always heard that just about any BMW manual will bolt up. You might want to check with someone like Korman or Metric Mechanic. Cost is probably going to be a big hurdle to making this work. I think the only E36 that came with a 6 speed was the Euro M3.
Here's some info. These prices are a little scary.
